Reeza Hendricks says Bhuvneshwar Kumar gave Proteas nothing to score off in 1st T20I

New Delhi, Feb 19: South African opener Reeza Hendricks heaped praise on Bhuvneshwar Kumar here on Sunday, he said that the Indian pacer consistently hit the right areas and didn't give the batsmen anything to score off during the first T20 international.

Bhuvneshwar picked his maiden five-wicket haul (5-24) as India won the first T20I by 28 runs after restricting South Africa to 175 for 9 in 20 overs.

"He (Bhuvneshwar) was just consistent in his areas which was pretty much giving us nothing to score off. So we had to be happy with ones and twos at that time," said Hendricks, who scored 70 off 50 balls.

The tourists will next head to Centurion for the second T20 on Wednesday, as they look to seal another series.
